Ari D Therapy & Training

Ari D Therapy & Training Ari D Therapy & Training is a massage therapist in Lafayette, Louisiana that offers therapy and Eastern medicine.

Appointments can be made on bookwitharid.as.me. With past experience playing professional soccer, working for six years as a high school Physical Education teacher in New York City, and being a multi-instrumentalist in numerous bands, I decided to add massage therapist and movement coach to my skill set. A calf injury forced me to seek physical therapy which sparked an interest in the profession of physical health and wellness -- proving that injury is always an opportunity for change and growth. I studied both western and eastern modalities of therapy to form an integrative approach to my treatment. I graduated from the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy with a certification in Prenatal Massage, and am CranioSacral Therapy certified through the Upledger Institute. I trained in Chinese Medical Massage, Qigong & Tai Chi through NATSTA, and am a certified Thai massage practitioner from the Nuad-Bo Rarn School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Since 2010 I have practiced at an integrative Physical Therapy clinic in Manhattan where I treat skilled athletes and desk jockeys with manual therapy and therapeutic movement. My goal for a client is not only to assist them in rehabilitating an injury or relaxation but ultimately to help develop a more in-depth awareness of the body and mind in order to lead an overall healthier and happier lifestyle.

No strap systems. No 30-day cancellation fights.
Just real-time care with a human who listens, adapts, and knows how to stretch a body based on your patterns—not a protocol.

Here’s what happens in a STRETCHED OUT session:
You wear comfy sports clothes.
We work on a mat or table—your choice.
I uses a combo of assisted stretching, breath cueing, joint mobilization, and deep body awareness to unlock what’s tight and support what’s tired.
You get up feeling realigned—and maybe even a little taller.

When your nervous system is fried and your brain’s buffering...
Your fascia and breath might be the key.
STRETCHED OUT supports your lymph flow, calms your system, and helps your body remember how to be again—not just do.
